    Barcode, I'm sure that drinking leaves you all puffy and bloated so well done On dropping a bit of weight. I'm declaring tonight AF as was yesterday, so that's 4 for the SNC and 5 for october. Hearing no bells at the monent oddly enough.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    6 AFDs as I'm working and drinking ribena tonight!

    Hearing no bells? Did I miss something?
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?
  • 4 tonight please shaggy and 3 for the SNC please bearacus.

    I may have majorly failed last night but I do know I will never go back to drinking every day like I used to. I feel so tired and have no desire whatsoever for alcohol. I don't know how I used to hold down a full time job!

    5 Af please Shaggy and 4 for SNC please Bearacus
    Had a mad busy and stressful day at work and kept thinking about 'treating myself' to a glass of wine tonight but thankfully i went to my zumba class instead and after that im lucky if i can walk straight let alone pour a glass of wine, so came home and just had bath followed by tea and toast. Off tomorrow so going to Pitlochry for the day

    Evening All,

    Not AF tonight for me shaggy so still 4/31


    But only had 1/2 a glass of wine ordered a glass with dinner had diet coke before eating.
    This is the first time hubby and I have been out on our own since August when my dad died and we have taken my mum with us when we went anywhere it was really nice just the two of us that never even thought about drinking and actually left some in my glass I cant stand warm white wine.
    So am more pleased at leaving wine than not drinking.:T:T

    Hope you all hve a good evening

    legs xx

    Hi All - I've not been able to get online for the last few days but have been AF since I last checked in so I'm now on 5 AFD's please shaggy and 4 for the SNC please bearacus.

    Hope this week has been kind to you all and well done on your AFness xxxx

    5 please, Shaggy, thanks!

    Is everybody madly busy at the moment, or is it just me?

    I think this week feels madly busy too but maybe it's because now the weather's turned colder we're not feeling so relaxed??? Strange logic maybe but last week felt so much calmer somehow.

    I was so pleased with weightloss today that I almost caved in and rewarded myself with a glass of wine. Then I thought, how stupid is that?? I've said I'm doing the full monty SNC so I am!

    4 AF for October please Shaggy and the full 4 for the SNC thanks Bearacus.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
